Variety says that Benderspink has optioned the rights to the comic book series “Starkweather” from Archaia Studios Press.

The property, created by David Rodriguez, revolves around a young boy who comes from a line of sorcerers but doesn’t learn about his supernatural abilities until he’s a twentysomething slacker who’s attacked by a mysterious coven.

“Starkweather” is the latest book from Archaia to be optioned; David Fincher recently signed to helm a film version of “The Killer” at Paramount for Plan B to produce.
